BreakingTrump says border will be guarded by military until wall built
President Donald Trump said Tuesday the U.S. would use the military to guard the southern border "until we can have a wall and proper security." Speaking during a lunch with Baltic leaders, Trump said the U.S. "cannot have people flowing into our country illegally, disappearing, and by the way never showing up for court." Trump said "we really haven't done that before," but President Barack Obama deployed National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border during his administration.

Snap in 'potentially promising position' after Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal, says analyst
Analyst James Cakmak of Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co. wrote Tuesday that Snap Inc. might be in a relatively good position in the wake of Facebook Inc.'s Cambridge Analytica scandal, due to Snap's "relatively stricter privacy parameters." He argued that Snap doesn't collect data from direct messages sent on the platform and limits the data that third-party developers can access. "The targeting and measurement criticisms previously waged on the company given the limitations to data may end up serving as a blessing in disguise," Cakmak wrote. "It's our understanding Snap is not explicitly using Facebook's challenges as a source of negotiating leverage; however, the relative underinvestment on the platform from advertisers and agencies presents opportunities to close the gap." Cakmak has a hold rating on Snap shares, which are down 3.7% in Tuesday morning trading. Snap's stock is down 38% over the past 12 months, compared with a 10% gain for the S&P 500 in that time.
